Solution

The correct option is C Birds
The pecten or pecten oculi is a comb-like structure of blood vessels, belonging to the choroid in the eye of a bird. It is a non-sensory, pigmented structure that projects into the vitreous body from the point, where the optic nerve enters the eyeball. The pecten nourishes the retina and controls the pH of the vitreous body.
